With almost a full mouth of teeth you are becoming more and more boyish and less like a baby. I still see a little baby in your cheeks though and I'm holding on. :) I feel like your knowledge and understanding has exploded this month. Or like we always say about you, you've probably known it for a long time and just chose to show us now. We knew with months of answering your "wassats?" that you'd blow us away one of these days. You have been trying a lot more to repeat words we teach you and have learned quite a few new ones. You can say purple and even repeat the whole alphabet! Your favorite letter is still "o" though and you say it in the cutest little voice. We were amazed how quickly you grasped colors and you can correctly identify them if we ask where one is. You know red, blue, green, purple, pink, yellow, and orange. And you can even say purple and blue in the correct context. Another thing that blew me away was after several times of reading your new Dinosaur Train book, you could correctly point to all the right dinosaurs on the cover when I named them. I'm pretty sure corithosaurus and daspletosaurus aren't typical knowledge points for someone your age!
You are buds with Blaine and you both call each other "buh". It's so sweet and you are really aware of each other. Today you played alone in the basement together for over an hour and had the best time! You love playgrounds and are pretty fearless about going down the slides. You are also working on walking up the stairs like a big boy just holding on to one hand. You still love transportation, but are less attached to your black train and fire truck as you are going to bed alone these days.
You are still our great sleeper and rarely wake up before 7. You take an afternoon nap between 12:30 and 1 and usually sleep more than 2 hours. Eating on the other hand is still another story. I can't believe the things you still refuse to eat. I mean pizza. Really? But the things you do eat are pretty healthy: PB sandwhiches, pineapple, sometimes apples and pears, and you absolutely love yogurt these days. That's pretty much your dinner every night. Yogurt and veggie sticks. I just continue to pray you will grow out of this and learn to be open to new things. We do a daily Flintstones vitamin though which you love!
You are still fairly attached to me, but in the last couple of weeks you have really become a lot more flexible. You enjoy time rough housing with Daddy and even walked into the Y and church without a look back. You are also a Nana's boy though. You still love going over there and your very favorite thing to do is sit on her lap and play with her iPhone or iPad. You make a relentless horse noise to make your point known and often sound like you are having an asthma attack. :)
Overall you are a pretty easy going boy and can put a grin on my face as your fake shy smile turns into a huge grin.
